Today, increasing energy costs and environmental problems make it mandatory to use energy efficiently in buildings. Universities with high energy consumption have become the focus to save energy in the building sector. At the same time, universities with many buildings and infrastructures are like small settlements. Major objective of this study is to compare historical energy consumption of different types of buildings over a ten-year period. Thus, it shows an overall picture of energy consumption in Çağış Campus of Balikesir University. It has been observed that the university hospital is a very large energy consumer compared to other buildings. In addition to this building, the energy consumed in four buildings such as Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, Rectorate, Medico Social Building and Faculty of Science and Letters corresponds to 70% of the total energy used in Çağış Campus between 2008-2019. The results obtained from the study will be beneficial for universities' related staff to manage energy use and to determine the priorities for retrofitting.
